Things I Hate About My Flatmate blog

Cory Doctorow 2:32 am Wed Feb 2, 2005

The Things I Hate About My Flatmate blog is a daily catalog of the sins committed by the anonymous poster's rotten flatmate. Having had my share of inconsiderate slob roommates over the years, this one really hits home for me!

This morning my flat mate decided to empty the trash, and actually take the rubbish out of the house for a change. Congratulations! But wait, don't get your hopes up that she may have reformed her usual ways. Removing the garbage from the bin AND putting a new bin liner in, and putting the lid on, seems simply too much work. Instead it's much easier to just leave the lid of the bin split into two seperate pieces, strewn across the living room floor, with no new bin liner placed in the bin cavity and then just LEAVE. Words can't express my sheer frustration living with this fucking moron.

Today's reason my flatmate pisses me off;

No concept of what is involved in emptying a bin.
